Eddie was one of those guys that just seemed like he would live forever. It’s especially sad that his drinking/drug use caused the band to fade away instead of continuing to showcase his talents. I hate this year so much.

EVH

Edit: But in all honesty we can’t really make a full comparison since Rhoads checked out so early.

Funny enough, I saw RR a week before he died and yet never saw VH. I liked em both. How I avoided a VH show all those years I have no idea, although I never got into Van Hagar though

EVH. Eddie was definitely worried that Rhoads was going to steal his thunder and would badmouth him in interviews. That being said, there are several stories of how Randy got to see Eddie play back in their club days and was absolutely floored at how good Eddie was. Randy realized he wasn’t even close to being in Eddie’s league and dedicated more time to practicing guitar.
There are tons of bootlegs of Eddie from the 70’s playing stuff that was just out of this world. He had a truly God given talent.

I saw the 1984 tour one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen

I agree with you as EVH was a virtuoso for the time, There was a big progression in playing from Blizzard to Diary. Like Dallas said, too young but as it stands EVH was better. I still liked the RR riffs better with the tone and chugging.

You know how people are with their music.

My show was B'ham as a teenager. I was pleasantly surprised with the number of black folk at an OO show.

Peak EVH and VH around that time IMO. Nice and I suppose you got the 1984 cuts.

Yep and yep. Definitely their heyday helluva show. DLR at his best voice. EVH in his prime. Great show.

Gonna have some pissed off parents when he introduces that prevent D and allows the other team to come back from being down by a few scores.

Maybe he's scrapped it by now.

"Chavis, who turns 64 later this month, is quick to note he's not even the defensive coordinator -- just an assistant.

"That way, when we don't get them stopped on third down, they can't get on my butt," joked Chavis"

Hell yea Chief....

All the religions in the world had to combine for this

I'd be ecstatic if we won 7 games this year! I have us down for a 5-6 win tops season.

A 10 game SEC schedule with GA, AL, FL, Aub, and TAMU means 5/6 wins won't come easy, but who knows it's 2020. What a screwed up year. Hard to tell for sure who Aub and TAMU are so far, so there's some hope.

 

[AM64]

We do have a monster O-line for a change, but our QB has the yips and throws it all over the place, too high, too behind, too hard for a 5 yard pass. I'll be glad when he's gone.

Remember this year is a non counter for eligibility. The guy might be old enough to retire. I really miss Dobbs.
